Education transforms the lives
I have had an opportunity interacting with a person who seems serious in educating poor kids. He was talking about educating poor kids through an individual contribution of well-off people in the community. According to him, each person should take responsibility to educate at least one student.” He baptized the idea as “Each one to teach one.” The idea sounds great!
Probably K R Narayanan would not have become the president of India if he did not have scholarship assistance from J.R.D. Tata. It repeated in the life of Dr. Ambedkar as well. There are millions of such people, born and probably yet to be born – deprived of the opportunities of birth and hence require a little push. In fact, there is no difference between poor and rich person. Both are gifted with endless potential. Just that the former is more likely to suffer because of the cash-nexus system we have. Sadly, most of the times these poor creatures cannot even get a chance to know what they are made of – let alone harnessing it! The talent remains untapped!
There is no denying that the state in some ways must set some conducive environment – where the mind is without fear – where people’s talents can blossom – irrespective of the class they belong to. We fret it might be too much to expect from a country like Nepal. The Political turmoil it is mired in, its tone-deaf stance to the economic agendas and the obscurity in social inclusion policies all attest to this fear. In this backdrop, cannot there be something, which we can act on our own efforts to spark a change in our community?
Certainly yes! Your power, talent and a little help can metamorphose the life of at least one student. However, it implores an abiding commitment to the principle of goodness and generosity. Allow us to mention here that the people like us, who have accomplished some sort of heights in our careers, must feel a responsibility to assist others especially the ones with a blazing desire for success. Nevertheless, fall short of enough opportunities! Who knows the new generation of leadership might emerge out of our earnest endeavors.
Therefore, we can play a pivotal role in the society. Our small effort can make a big difference in the lives of poor students. PDRC is committed enough to create better opportunities for such needy and talented students. We need your support for this. Please join hands together in our greater mission to make students realize their true potential and the underlying value of human life.
